Thank Goodness the Todd Side Knows Etiquette

Every once in a while Rick throws out an etiquette fact that I am frankly shocked exists at all, and even more shocked that my husband knows. As his hick of a Midwestern wife I can tell you I am proud when I write a thank-you note within a month of a gift.

Today I learned that hand delivered letters are not sealed. That is correct, if you hand deliver a note you only fold the envelope flap into the letter, you do not lick and stick. Who wouldda thunk?

Another etiquette fact: A waiter should never show you the back of his hand. If he does, he should apologize.

Anyone know where either of these throw-backs come from? Anyone wanna guess which side of the family will teach kiwi-McTodd which fork to use when?
